Oh sick! Is Newsom's Rolodex going to be a recurring guest or will it just be a temporary thing until the cast takes off?

I gotta agree that we could have had a little more freakiness from angry projections tearing our dream team apart, but Marion Cotillard was scary as hell through the entire movie.

I've smelled worse things but my LEAST favourite smell in the whole wide world is the smell of bad lettuce. Even those few little bits lurking at the bottom of a perfectly fine container of greens is enough to make my stomach turn.

Me neither, because I definitely believe in the notion of privilege and that my proximity/relationship to it allows me to tune out or get blind to the politics of creativity. I keep coming back to the idea of lenses through which we view the world, with no exact right one that fits all occasions.

I'm all about zine-format adventures. They're (relatively) easy to make and print, and a collection or 3 or 5 make a great addition without having to shell out for another book. Mothership is doing this format right. Dice are fine, but I have enough of them to fight off a small horde of zombies.

Yeah. It's not lost on me that folks who say 'everything is political' are EXTREMELY engaged with politics. I accept the perspective and you COULD apply it anywhere, but I guess I'm too deep into 'art for the sake of art' to really believe it. I can accept being wrong, but doubt we're stupid.

I think about this a lot. I know we can place art/artists in a political context and overlapping intersectionality exists, but sometimes a thing is just that thing. Someone's digital painting of a kitty necromancer need not be instructive or provide comment on the global dumpster fire.

Like all truly great campaigns, it never got off the ground, but I wonder what hay I could have made from my money worshipping, 'invisible hand of Providence' lovin', prosperity gospel preachin' cleric.

A friend once proposed a campaign where we all rolled higher-level characters that were dedicated to cosmic forces of neutrality. Not minor gods exactly, but powerful servants of 'neutral forces'.

Remember they think they could return to the desert any time they want. My cat is very sure she can do without blood pressure meds, laxatives and kibble.

Surrender to the cat dictatorship. Nothing is yours. It's all the cats' and they share it because you're lucky.
Put down a blanket or cozy cushion in the spaces that are now theirs. Maybe a space heater? Some treats? Catnip?
Until they understand money and work there's no other option.

Furthermore, and I've mentioned this before, but Alice Krige as the Borg Queen irreparably changed my sexuality for the better.

Not because it's good Star Trek. It isn't. It's loud and dumb. Everyone makes stupid decisions, and it doesn't sell the end of fucking humanity or Picard's PTSD hard enough. That's what 'Family' is for.
But it's a great zombie movie in a Star Trek uniform, and I'll die on that hill.

Remember when Section 31 were categorically the villains, and the revelation there was a rogue intelligence agency operating within The Federation was justifiably horrific? 'member when we were clearly meant to reject their 'ends justify the means' rhetoric? I remember that shit.

Fuck yeah. This is the rant I want to see. Star Trek is at its best when it's an office drama combined with nerd competency porn and high concept science fiction. Action Star Trek is empty and deeply, deeply uninteresting.

Loved The Substance, but we've all been exactly here before over one movie or another. 😄

It's the attention to the details that always gets me. The period dialogue, the way he tries to tell a story that fits the horror themes of the era and time it's set in. Cannot wait for his *checks notes* Medieval English Werewolf movie in Medieval English.
*swoon*

It's like Eggers has a pipeline to the part of my brain where all the movies I want but don't have yet live.

There really should be a 'grumpy - begrudging - enthusiastic' overlay on alignment.

Solid point. Don't tell Ilmater what I said though. Just to be safe.

Is it lawful good if you return other people's carts, but you fantasize about stuffing them in there and rolling the cart into the river?

I got it in under fifteen minutes, but that still felt like a lot of 'Straight Through the Heart', even for me.

There's a lot of confusing body stuff going on in that movie. Sexy, always slightly sweaty Borg queen is the tip of a very strange iceberg.
